Osgood Perkins' new film, 'The Monkey,' marks a departure from his previous dark horror films, embracing a blend of horror and comedy. Adapted from a Stephen King short story about a haunted wind-up toy, the film explores absurdities of death through exaggerated and comedic scenarios. Perkins himself emphasizes his creative freedom in depicting graphic, humorous deaths, showcasing a philosophy of acceptance of mortality through the character of a weary mother. This movie surprises audiences who expect Perkins' traditional style, offering a unique perspective on horror.
I had a license to make these deaths as gruesome and as shocking and as horrific and repellent as I wanted.
